NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…

It's the "do no harm" mix.

This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…

Written in 1982 after a trip to Wyoming with a couple of Alex DeGrassi cassettes....

I'm feeling new.
I'm seeing you.
I know right from my soul.
I don't need malady, baby, in my heart.
Rolling around.
Rolling ground, moving around the bend.
Is it true?
I'm in this mood.
It's coming from my…

Enjoy,
Doug

Oh, dreamy ACL goodness...Mmmm!

You had me at the piano intro. It just got better from there. The first piece of music I listened to today. What a great start to the day.
Another beautiful track! Well groomed and polished to a high gloss finish. Cheers slap...
Hi, good sound track and nicely arranged.
This reminds me of some of the instrumentals that linked tracks on Smashing Pumpkins Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Sounds really good.
Sounds deep. Me like. Exactly what I need at 4am.
I love this sound...it is very ethereal and totally enchanting.
Very sweet and sounded medieval...very nice.
very nice work... repetition works well in this piece.
so nice.
I would tag this track if I could ;) very visually provocative. I'm seeing a boat rolling onto the banks, emerging from the fog.. very calming.
I like it

Real beauty!!!
